A practical session on route optimization for smart mobility—why it matters, how it works, and where it delivers ROI across delivery, field service, public transport, and transfers.

What we covered

• What “optimal route” really means (time windows, capacities, driver rules, traffic, weather, LEZs).
• Manual vs automated planning: where humans excel and where algorithms win.
• Core algorithms & approach (TSP/VRP, constraints, real-time vs batch optimization).
• Industry use cases: e-commerce last-mile, field service, airport transfers, school transport.
• Business impact: lower fuel & km, faster SLAs, higher driver utilization, lower CO₂.
• Build vs buy & integration: APIs, mobile apps, offline modes, territory planning.

Key takeaways

• Start small (50–60% auto-planned), then scale to 90%+ as rules mature.
• One platform + shared data beats tool sprawl; integrate with your ERP/dispatch.
• Real-time replanning handles delays, cancellations, and traffic without chaos.
• ROI shows up in costs, on-time performance, and driver satisfaction/retention.

Who should watch

Operations leads, logistics managers, mobility founders, and product/tech teams evaluating routing software or planning to integrate routing via API.
